Well since I'm basically one of four people who posts in this thread, it doesn't seem worth making some huge abomination post of like twenty episode thoughts.

Makai Senki 12.

An episode for the Zero fans! featuring one of the coolest look Horrors yet. Most of Zero's backstory in the original show was pretty uninteresting so I'm glad to see they improved upon that, here, even if the way the episode paced made it kinda confusing to follow at points.

I love the amount of focus Zero gets in this show, in general. I guess he must have tested way better than Kouga with audiences, as he vanished for long stretches of time in the original GARO but here he seems to have as much, if not more, focus than Kouga does.

Makai Senki 13.

The return of Jabi! Man she and Kouga should be the central couple, they have much much better chemistry. Then again, I can't help but wonder if that is sometimes done deliberately to appeal to a very specific audience...

And...eh...what is going on? Zaruba just suddenly erupts in flames and everyone acts like they expected this, this is because the rings have...spring water in them? Why? And since when? How does Zero get around this? Did I miss an episode somewhere?

I love watching Jabi fight, the way she combines her long legs with her cool magic. The perfect balance between sexy and badass. I thought the special effects were very impressive this episode as well, it was very understated for GARO but I loved seeing her summon the spells beneath the water and stuff like that. It's just cool little tricks like that that make the fantasy feel tangible.

The fight with Red Mask though...eh? Although I think it's cool that they've got one villain who can go toe to toe with Kouga's sword and ALSO Jabi's brush (man was this fight a visual treat?!), but on the other hand it just seems a strange choice to make them all a single character. I don't get why they aren't a group of villains, because as several characters smashed together Red Mask feels like overkill in the most ridiculous Gurren Lagann sense.

We know Leo is evil already, stop acting like it's some kind of mystery!
